I can't find the exact pages again right now, but one of them is on the CDC site... This morning I was looking for something on tetanus and I didn't have much time, so I didn't bookmark anything and now I'm realizing that was stupid because I can't find the pages I read this on again, but it was so ridiculous. I read in two different places, one on the CDC website, that the DTaP doesn't cause convulsions. They had the nerve to say that the immunization doesn't cause the convulsions....because the fever does. Both of them mentioned neurological damage caused by the DTaP, but said there was no proof of it. And both said that the convulsions were completely harmless. But right after saying that there was no proof that the DTaP caused neurological damage and that the convulsions were harmless, one of the pages said that studies have shown that any neurological damage occurring after DTaP was not a result of the immunization, but a result of the convulsions, which were caused by the fever. Apparently, they are hoping that readers are sooooo brainwashed into believing everything a doctor tells them, they won't notice what is going on here. They believe that by doing a whole once-removed kind of thing, no one will figure out that since the immunization caused the fever, which caused the convulsions, which caused the neurological damage, the root of the problem was the IMMUNIZATION - not the fever or the convulsion.
I had to post this because I'm in total shock that people have the audacity to put in writing that the catalyst for the whole set of events leading up to eventual neurological damage was not actually the cause. That would be like a medical examiner looking at the body of a murder victim and saying, "This isn't murder! She was not killed by a person - she was killed by the bullet that came from the gun that was fired by the person. Obviously, the bullet killed her, not the other person." (Sorry for the gruesom analogy, but it was the best one that popped into my mind.) At any rate, in a murder case, no one would fall for that, so how can people fall for it when it comes to immunizations? Have Americans really become that stupid?
